Front fuel cell
Putting my engine from a door car into an altered. Both have front mounted fuel cells. Should I just transfer my old fuel pump and regulator , BG 280 and big port holley regulator, into the altered or go for something diffrent ? How much fuel pump do I need ? 414" SBC with one 4500 carb, ran 8.40's in the door car with the BG and Holley combo.

I would in a heart beat. Cells in the front make the pump work less under G force.jap tin wrote:Putting my engine from a door car into an altered. Both have front mounted fuel cells.

The only thing different to think about would be possibly using a belt driven fuel pump. The belt pump wouldn't need any electrical which can help you if you're bracket racing, and would have the ability to swap back and forth between gas and alky in the future.
